I can think of a couple of reasons. One is we aren't going to park them. Another is we sold it. We didn't "C" check the -8's once they were parked unless we planned to put one back in service or sold it. We could be "C" checking airplanes that are going back into service to replace ones coming up on "C" checks that are going to be parked. Even in this case, it suggests the -9's aren't going to parked in large numbers.
